Carter, played by Willie Taylor of Day 26 and former cast member of VH1’s Love and Hip Hop Hollywood, wants a chance… a chance to be his own man with the woman he loves and has married. He is adamant not to be dependent on her success. Instead, he wants to create the life he's always wanted for the both of them. A future greatly different from his past. She has degrees and beauty, and he has a past with rough edges. They are, nevertheless, a loving pair. Just as he thought he'd found the break he'd been looking for, he's confronted with yesterday's problems. What is he to do when his intentions are honorable and his devotion is genuine, yet his past refuses to let him move on?
